We recommend reading the full FAQ prior to your swim, but here are some helpful highlights!
- Arrive to your timeslot already showered and with your swim attire under your street clothes. Change space is extremely limited before and after your timeslot. COVID-19 occupancy limits apply.
- Plan to shower at home after your swim - private showers are unavailable and there will be limited time permitted in the change area at the end of your timeslot.
- No spectators are permitted at this time. Only registered pool users will be allowed in the facility.
- Limited lockers are available - arrive with as few belongings as possible.
- Several indoor pool amenities are unavailable at this time including the rope swing, steam room, and sauna. The waterslide and hot tub are open during limited times.
- Bring a filled water bottle from home - there is currently no access to drinking fountains.
Memberships
As of March 17, 2020 all memberships were frozen as the MRLC shut down due to COVID-19. Members have the option to unfreeze their account or continue paying single admission pay as you go with their account being frozen.
Please note:
- Once a membership pass holder has chosen to unfreeze their account, they cannot re-freeze it.
- You will be able to access your timeslot fifteen minutes past the start time; however, patrons that arrive after the 15 minutes will be denied entrance to the Leisure Centre and forfeit their registration.
Admission Rates
Patrons may choose to keep their account frozen and pay-as-they-go for the registered Fitness Centre timeslots. Activities will cost our regular admission rates unless otherwise stated. Regular admission rates, including GST, are below:
- Adult: $6.00
- Youth: $4.10
- Senior: $4.10
You may book back-to-back drop-in timeslots at no extra cost for the Indoor Pool and Outdoor Pool. You may not book back-to-back for registered programs to give as many patrons as possible the chance to register (*exception below).
How to Book Back-to-Back
Call our registration line at 604-467-7422 to pay one fee for your desired back-to-back timeslots. At this time, our online registration does not support a single charge for back-to-back timeslots, but our Customer Experience Clerks can complete your transaction over the phone.
Two timeslots on the same day that are more than an hour apart do not qualify for back-to-back bookings. If you registered for two timeslots more than an hour apart, you will be charged for both timeslots.
*Exception
- Back-to-back bookings of two of the same aquatics programs are only permitted if the second registration is completed within 24 hours of the program start time. If a back-to-back booking is discovered outside the 24 hour window the customer will be withdrawn from the second booking.
Example: A customer registers into Friday, March 10 8:00 AM Aqua Fitness. On Thursday, March 9, the customer determines that there is space in a 9:00 AM Aqua Fitness on March 10, which is back-to-back with the session in which they are already registered. Because there is space in the program and it is within the 24 hour window, this customer may register into back-to-back Aqua Fitness timeslots on March 10 at 8:00 AM AND 9:00 AM.
